I'm not sure how this is *news* since at the local MicroCenter here in Columbus, Ohio, many of my techie friends got $400 in free computer stuff (anything in the store) by signing up for one of MSN's deals. In the original contract that these people signed (they made sure they could do it before trying it), it said that you could "cancel the service at any time." So, they got their $400 certificate for MicroCenter, bought their stuff, got home, called the people at MSN and canceled their account. All in the same day. How's that for free money?
[BTW, I should think this loophole has been since closed.]
